Adult family care is a program that provides in-home support for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities. It offers a home-like setting, often within a family’s home, rather than a traditional institutional setting like a nursing home.
Key features of adult family care:
- Home-like environment: Individuals live with a caregiver in a family setting, providing a more personalized and comfortable experience.
- Personalized care: Caregivers tailor their support to meet the specific needs of each individual, ensuring they receive the appropriate level of assistance.
- Community-based: Adult family care allows individuals to remain in their communities, maintaining connections with friends and family.
- Financial support: In many cases, programs provide financial assistance to caregivers to help offset the costs of providing care.
Individuals who may benefit from adult family care include:
- Adults with disabilities
- Seniors who require assistance with daily living activities
- Individuals who are recovering from illness or injury
